May 8 (UPI) -- Soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo was beaming with pride this weekend, watching his son score three goals.

The Real Madrid ace posted a video to Instagram Saturday showing his six-year-old son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. playing on a dirt soccer field.

"So proud of my boy," Ronaldo wrote. "Hat trick."

Little Ronaldo intercepts the goalkeeper's punt on the play, making a trap with his shins. He then steps up to the ball and boots it on first touch. His left-footed rip lands at the far post, beyond the keeper's outstretched arms.

But this isn't the first time Ronaldo has showed of his son, or his soccer skills on social media.

So proud of my boy❤️️❤️️❤️️ hat trick👌👌🙏

The 32-year-old also posted a video of his son scoring a goal two weeks ago. On that score, young Ronaldo is fouled. He gets up from the turf to take a free kick. Ronaldo takes a few paces back from the ball and stands with a very similar posture, similar to the one his dad uses before he takes a free kick. He runs up to the placed ball and rips it with his right foot, bending it over defenders and around the keeper.

"So proud of my little man," Ronaldo wrote on April 21. "What a goal. Siii."

Both of Ronaldo's videos have more than 8 million views on Instagram.

One of Ronaldo's posts with his son has more than 3.7 million Instagram likes. Last week, the Real sensation became the first man to reach 100 million followers on the social media platform. In 2016, he achieved more than 200 million followers on all social media platforms.
